Free Roleplaying (Sled Dogs)

[Deleted]

I thought this would be a fun way to boost moral around here considering a lot of Anikira’s members are busy with school and the holiday season. So I want this to be fun and (for the most part) care free. You have no obligation to join, but if you would like to, please follow the simple rules I’ve laid out below. ^^

Rules;
- All of Ani’s rules apply to this role-play, except for the word minimum. To keep this free role-play forum light and flowy, I’m going to set the word minimum at 100 - 150; but don’t feel like that has to be the max. ^^
- Each member can create up to two characters for this role-play. You can choose a character slot or pm me with your idea of an “other” character. When creating a character, be sure that character slot is available and fill out a character bio form (see below) in your first post.
- Not allowed to become stressed out about posting here. ^.~
- Be original. Let’s not have everyone be wolf-hybrids and all have blue eyes.

Name: Quilaq
Age: 2 1/2
Breed: Siberian Husky
Description: Agouti in color, meanings she’s different shades of brown and black. White blotches her face and all four legs are at least half white.
Team Position: Lead dog.
Personality: She’s very tough, especially on new comers. But she’s very intelligent for her young age. She’s recently been promoted to lead dog of this team since her father retired. She’s generally sweeter to her human companions than her four legged ones, but she’s far from cold-hearted.
History: Quilaq comes from a long line of sled dogs, each of her ancestors playing an important role in the team. Her mother was a swing dog for a short period of time before she became a breeding bitch. Her father though, and her father’s father were both lead dogs. Since she discovered her past, she’s been determined to fulfill her “destiny” as she inwardly put it and strives to be the strongest and best lead her owners have seen.




Quilaq was out in the yard, observing the tree line with wary eyes. She and the rest of the dogs were out in the yard, a fenced perimeter surrounding the barn, where each dog had their own spacious stall, the covered breezeway leading from the cabin to the barn and stopping short at the front of the house. The tall, six foot chain link fence kept animals of the Alaskan wilderness out of the yard. It was rumored that the fence was electrified, either as extra security for the predators that lurked the tree line or because a dog or two dared to climb over the tall fence.

The female scoffed at the idea of such disloyalty to the human caretakers. Sure, if she and her team were forced to kill for their food, she guessed that they would stand a fair chance. Each and every one of them had a taste for raw meat, it being a frequent part of their weekly diet. But to abandon her humans for the freedom outside the fence? Preposterous. And if anyone on her team was to speak of such things, running away or jumping the fence, they would be sure to get a piece of her mind.

Team Position: Team Dog
Personality: Sweet and caring, with a motherly disposition, though she can be rather apprehensive towards people that she doesn't know well. She can become stern and bossy when she has to be, however, she usually leaves the discipline of her fellow dogs up to Quilaq.

History: Anachim was born into the sled team in the middle of December, and she promised to be a strong and capable sled dog, living up to her parent's legacy. However, quite early in her life she developed minor cataracts in her right eye, and they were allowed to develop without the humans knowing anything about it, soon leading to complete blindness in that eye. The humans, feeling that a half-blind dog wouldn't be able to run with the sled team, were going to refrain from placing her onto the team. However, Anachim proved them all wrong by getting out there and being the best member of the team that she could be, and she continues to live up to that standard. Just because she's half-blind doesn't mean that she can't run with the best of them.

Other: Is completely blind in right eye

Anachim opened her smoky blue eye slowly, watching as the rest of the dogs scampered about in the yard. Her eyes were glazed over with mild disinterest as she watched them all- Anachim had never really been one for prancing about like a scatter-brained yearling. Oh, sure, she could keep up with them well enough if she was in the mood to play, but all the others tended to view her in a different manner just because she was half-blind. Anachim let a small growl escape her vocals at that- no matter how hard people tried to hide it, she knew that they were concerned about her well-being. Well, they didn't have to be. She could get on just fine without use of her right eye, she could run up there with the best of them and no one would even suspect that she had a disability.

Anachim kept her eyes on Quilaq, who seemed to be in deep thought about something or another. You could never tell with lead dogs. The young female thought better of striking up a conversation with Quilaq as she laid there- if the female wanted company, she would have said so, and besides, at the moment Anachim just wanted to be alone. Curling up into a small ball, she watched as a hawk circled overhead, apparently looking for something to eat. "Yeah, well, you're not gonna find anything here. So get lost, birdbrain." Anachim growled softly at the bird, as if it could possibly hear her from how high in the air it was. The yearling female had never really been fond of birds, and this one was no exception. Rolling over onto her back, Anachim stared up at the bright blue sky, and she pondered to herself as she laid there whether or not there was going to be a run today. After all, it was too beautiful of a day to be cooped up inside.
